How Miss Kate Field must have wept
when that dear, intellectual lady OF the
G. a. r. Woman's Relief Corps noto-
riety saw the answer made by her
champion to my open letter to the
above-named lady. What an insult it
was to- that ensign Of despo ism. the
Maltese cross, that glitters upon the
bosom of such noble. hberty-loVing
lady in this benighted Republic OH
Goddess of Liberty, look down and
weep! What impositions are perpe-
trated in thy name! Has it become
crime for the producer to ask the con-
sumer q few questions, and especially
when that con sumer takes upon himself
| or herself to tie 4ch the producer how ne
or she shall 1--we and act in their Gome>-
| tic hfe2 Is it an evidence OF intellectual
development for the teacher to answer
with abusive language and ignorant
slang, such as appeared in Tuesday and
Wednesdays Tribune? An impartial
judge will answer no. the writer of
the article called
THE GALL Of HIN"
says 1 am the man who had his nose
broken by Kate Field. Now I con-
slider this an insult and a libel
on the lady. I emphatically say
that that lady never did any such
thing, and what is more am OF the
opinion that the lady and her champion
could not fight worth cent, though the
lady felt a bit likeit when she got that
badge of despotism pinned to her noble
breast. The writer says this poor
wretch gives an idea of what he desires
to discuss" Thanks for your sympathy
for 1.-The poor wretch 1 asgeu the
lady if she would have time to p re t.
lecture on the more gigantic evil of
women confined in nunneries, which
you failed TO answer. You admit that
1000 emigrants land in New York every
week, poor, mean, and vile, loaded
down with poverty and crime. Have
not this class of emigrants got the map
of Ireland in their faces7 Are they not
tattooed with he sign OF the cross?
May not the majority be designated as
the Pope's Irish? Are they not run into
the Tammany organization from the
fact that they stand forninst the govern
ment? The Edmunds-Tucker bill broke
up the Mormon emigration corpora
ton, and yet defy you to produce
ONE SINGLE CASE
of an emigrant with the character you
admit lands in New York. He says we
must be right. because there are
wretches in the world more debased
than ourselves. l must admit would |
not know where to find them. Any |
man or set of men who would misrep- |
resent another or falsify his opponent !
for the sake of besting him. in my opin |
ion would sooner speak falsely on |
credit than get ready money to speak |
the truth. Can anything be worse than
that? You say that the Hebrews were
half barbarians - polygamists. Then
the God OF Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and
David must have been half barbarian
God. All creeds and denominations
call Abraham the father of the faithful.
Jacob must be the father of all liars,
and David the father of all pOlyga-
m,sts, adulterers and murderers.
Now, while all other sects accept this
same Bible theory, and swear by its !
teachings, you abuse the Mormons for
practicing what it teaches; hence you |
respect the hypocritical prof lessor more |
than
THE GENUINE PossEssoR.
You say that justify |
treason. This is palpable falsebood. |

citizen, the one that maintains his wife |
or wives, by honest productive labor,
or one that feeds his family on the pro-
duce of others and gives worse than
nothing in exchange?" You say what |

D uay Bible; II Kings, chap. xii, YER

why not lay the axe at the root of the
tree, and not nip at the twigs? All
systems of theology are frauds, but
neither you nor have any right to ad-
vocate the punishment of its victims:
but we have the right to demand the
suppression of obscene literature. no
matter whether 1t be considered in
spired or not. Obscenity inspired is
just as much obscene as if it were not
inspired, the same as the murder of a
man. Murder inside of the law. and
another out; both are murder. We
have an obscene literary law. l ask.
why is it not enforced in the Bible as
much as the Edmunds law is? Your
reply on women being confined in nun
cries was very elaborate 1t was like a
musical solo-so low, that it could not
be seen or read. You gave a splendid |
description of the difference there was
between Catholic priest who does not
marry and Mormon who marries too
much.
